Cain is a phony who is bluffing us. Perhaps a Cain supporter can explain to a dufus, like I, the difference between profiling and “targeted identification”. http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={ae157968-1a6d-45fc-a3f5-c18da78d43d4}&mid=2b7deab70c8130c446a46b72b3fceebe-9c44491d38cff258efd08874e83314cc390e2ef0&ds=AVG&lang=en&v=8.0.0.40&pr=fr&d=2011-10-01%2021%3A36%3A08&sap=dsp&q=Cain%2C+profiling%2C+targeted+identification

Apparently it means he’s not going to be searching old white American nuns in airports, when the real threat is people coming from middle eastern countries.

You can call that racial profiling. But it doesn’t make sense to inconvenience us all when you know the needle in the haystack that you are searching for is really in that lump of hay off to the left.

Cain is not a phony. Targeted identification is an educated guess style of profiling, and it has kept terrorism away from El Al planes for decades.

Um. It’s not that difficult when you’re informed, and when you have brains.

The Israelis (among others) have been using Targeted Identification for years.

Are you opposed to such efforts?

Is Cain a “phony” simply because you don’t happen to grasp this?
